Someplace

Who are we? The two Global CCO’s and the Global Media Director who ran the Nike Global Business for the last 17+ years. What are we doing? We started a new place, a place founded and designed to make game changing creativity for the modern media world. (Big words, we know but we mean it.) How do we work? We know we don’t know everything, that’s why we strongly believe in collaboration. What kind of work do we want to make? The kind of work that solves a problem. We have the team and the partnerships in place to be able to make all kinds of work. For us it is not about Big or Small, sometimes a tweet can have more impact than a movie. Relevant vs irrelevant is the difference. What are we looking for? Great work is not as much about the brand as it is about the people managing the brand. So, we want to collaborate with clients that see the power great work can have in their brand and their business. If you're curious about working with us reach out at hello@someplaceshop.com
